A dermoid cyst is a teratoma of a cystic nature that contains an array of developmentally mature, solid tissues. It frequently consists of skin, hair follicles, and sweat glands, while other commonly found components include clumps of long hair, pockets of sebum, blood, fat, bone, nail, teeth, eyes, cartilage, and thyroid tissue.
Mature teratomas include dermoid cysts and are generally benign. [8] Immature teratomas may be cancerous. [4] [9] Most ovarian teratomas are mature. [10] In adults, testicular teratomas are generally cancerous. [11] Definitive diagnosis is based on a tissue biopsy. [2] Treatment of coccyx, testicular, and ovarian teratomas is generally by surgery.
